Maybe these events of tib_connection can help you:

To case sensitive manner:
function TForm1.IB_Connection1CustomCompareStr(IB_Field: TIB_Column;
const S1, S2: String): Integer;
begin
Result := CompareStr(S1, S2);
end;

To case insensitive manner:
function TForm1.IB_Connection1CustomCompareText(IB_Field: TIB_Column;
const S1, S2: String): Integer;
begin
Result := CompareText(S1, S2);
end;
